“Many of you have been waiting for an update on Kristina, the biggest update is that she is now home with the family and in very good spirits! She still has a long way to go until her full recovery but as of right now she is capable of doing everything by herself!”

Oregon Health and Science University confirmed Shevchenko's release.

Her trauma surgeon, Dr. Laszlo Kiraly, said she came to Oregon Health and Science University “seriously wounded with an assault rifle wound to the chest.”

She was awake when she arrived, but her lung and liver were seriously damaged.
